I have a guy that works in the bay next to me. Some days he is nice and chats and other days it looks like he is on the edge of snapping and wants to kill us all. You never know which guy is showing up to work each morning.

TGIF !! Suppose to be another hot one day with heat index close to 100.

well the sarge was at it again today. A customer came back because they had dropped off a car and forgot something inside of it. Sarge asked the underage kid and his girlfriend if they had left their weed in the car (nothing hinted at that being in the car when it was dropped off), then when the kid said no i dont smoke, sarge started to argue with him saying yeah you do in a laughing way.

I dont see this ever being okay

Finished up one transmission and started installing another. I feel like I have been beat up in my sleep. I wanted to get ahead on weekend chores after work but it rained and I was kinda glad.

That guy is going to get you all in a world of hurt. Better to get rid of him now and pay unemployment benefits instead of dealing with a lawsuit.

In Tx if you get fired or quit no unemployment. My S-I-L just went thru that. My son told me his company does not use temps for the laborer positions. He told me it is easier to direct hire anf if they turn iut to be dirtbags just fire them.

Hard w ork and heat will beat you up. Yesterday I drank 6 bottles of propel, 6 poweraide 6 waters. When I got home lay down on the bed with ceiling fan on high. After about 2 hours wax cool enough to tae a shower

This monte carlo, the one I stripped twice and body worked and yada yada, been here for 3 months now. Supposed to be deliver this morning. Painter did this.



We have a nissan altima, job was going perfect until the glass guy dropped the windsheild, killed fresh paint, caused damage, and shattered the window, so the car wont get delivered till wednesday.

I was driving the 1968 vette 427 that weve had for a while to the owners house after he paid his bill, when on the way he noticed I didnt have brake lights. Called wiring guy, he has no clue and wont look at it till monday. He rewired the whole car because it was a fire hazard and didnt run right. I used to live with the dude, and brought him into the shop only to have this happen.

Some days the bears get you other days you get the bears. Now what could you have done about any of this? Doing all that work on the Monte is heart breaking but you did not do it. The Altma again bad luck but you did not do it. The vette yes it should have been checked before you delivered it. You freind just made a small mistake some where. That life. The point is no need to stress over this unless you are a partner and rework is costing you money the same with the crack head. Do not let this stress you out
